Now hear this, Plugz style

by Mir at 2:54 pm on January 31, 2011 in Contests

This week’s contest is for everyone with an iPhone or a Blackberry who’s realized that the factory earbuds are kind of lousy. (My gripe with Apple headphones: They fall out of my ears. Are my ears oddly-shaped? What’s wrong with my ears??)

An upgrade would be nice, right? How about a pair of iFrogz Ear Pollution Plugz for iPhone/Blackberry, a stylish pair of noise isolating earbuds with a high-def microphone built right in. They come with three different size ear pieces, so you can customize the fit that works best for you. This pair I have to give away happens to be lime green, which will look great with your eyes. (Okay, maybe your eyes aren’t green. But they are pretty.)

Want to win ‘em? Of course you do! To enter, first go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Thursday, February 3rd, 2011 for a chance to win. Winner will be determined by random number generation and volume. But mostly that random number thing.

Ready? Go!

Thanks, Mir!

I would love these!

Becca January 31, 2011 at 3:05 pm #

We got thru headphone around here like crazy, so another pair is always needed. Plus a mike! I might use those on the stair machine at the gym so when I’m using my iPhone as an iPod and someone calls me, I can huff and puff at them without missing a step.

Beth January 31, 2011 at 3:06 pm #

Oh yes please!!!
17

ste January 31, 2011 at 3:17 pm #

I think I’m going nuts because I read on your blogs too much that I have said to myself! Would rather stay at home and watch tv because of how it turns your brain off, the earbuds. I’ve almost never been able to wear earbuds because of my weirdly shaped ears!
18

Kristine January 31, 2011 at 3:18 pm #

these would be a great new upgrade from the factory standard…
19

Kyallee January 31, 2011 at 3:19 pm #

You mean there’s a choice besides the earbuds that came with my MP3 player?! Wow, I’ve never had cool earbuds before… Thanks for hosting another great giveaway!
20

EG January 31, 2011 at 3:21 pm #

Ugh, yes, the included ear buds leave something to be desired!
21

Thornacious January 31, 2011 at 3:23 pm #

OMG, lime green is totally my favorite color! I would love these! (And hug them and squeeze them and call them George.)
22

Leila January 31, 2011 at 3:24 pm #

Ooooh, those would be so cool. And I need a new pair…
23

Cindy January 31, 2011 at 3:24 pm #

26

Patricia January 31, 2011 at 3:26 pm #

I could stand a new pair of earbuds. My kids got a hold of mine. I do not want them back.
27

Katherine January 31, 2011 at 3:26 pm #

I’d love to win these and give them to my son – he goes through ear buds like candy! And he really likes this style. I, OTOH, don’t like this style (any size and it still hurts my ears) and much prefer the standard Apple earbuds.
28

Kris January 31, 2011 at 3:28 pm #

Sweet! And lime green is awesome.
29

Monique January 31, 2011 at 3:29 pm #

Oh, “sounds” good! (rim shot: ba-da bum!) yes, I’m lame, I know.
30

Alisa January 31, 2011 at 3:31 pm #

Bob January 31, 2011 at 3:49 pm #

by 8:00 AM thursday morning, I hope to be the proud owner of the 1st of the verizon iphones. So – I’m throwing my hat in the ring for free earbuds. ’cause I won’t be able to afford anything else for a while…..
44

Lynne January 31, 2011 at 3:54 pm #

I would love to have a pair of ear buds that fit. I thought I had odd ears, but maybe I am not so odd after all. Here’s hoping.
45

Emily January 31, 2011 at 3:56 pm #

Oh, I’d love these! I hate the ear buds that came with my iphone.
46

RebeccaL January 31, 2011 at 3:58 pm #

My eyes are green and I’d love to have a pair of earbuds that might fit me better! I have tiny ears and had not had good luck finding a good fit.
47

Crisanne January 31, 2011 at 4:04 pm #

I’d love a pair of green ear buds…maybe I wouldn’t lose them amid all the other cords/cables that way!
48

Midj January 31, 2011 at 4:04 pm #

You are so twinkly and sparkly today. And your hair, though undoubtably pulled back, is looking extra shiny! Oh, and yes, earbuds, please!
49

Kaedra January 31, 2011 at 4:10 pm #

My ears are also apparently malformed. I’d love this!
50

Heidi January 31, 2011 at 4:16 pm #

Earbuds fall out of my ears too. Nothing wrong with your ears.
51

Kate January 31, 2011 at 4:21 pm #

I never really thought about the fact that earbuds could come in different sizes- just figured it was one-size-fits-all and only the decorations varied. I’d love a chance to see if new ones fit better!
52

Eva January 31, 2011 at 4:23 pm #

Very awesome contest!
53

Leah January 31, 2011 at 4:23 pm #

There must be an earbud monster around here (similar to the sock monster). Could definitely use a replacement!
54

Mom24@4evermom January 31, 2011 at 4:23 pm #

My daughter would love these!
55

Mary O January 31, 2011 at 4:56 pm #

Oh cool!
64

Daisy January 31, 2011 at 4:58 pm #

I’m in! Not for me; these things are never hearing aid compatible. IF I win, these are for my son, the one who goes through a bazillion pair of headphones each year.
65

Amy L. January 31, 2011 at 5:04 pm #

I’d love them for my iPhone! What a sweet giveaway…from a very pretty lady….

70

Denise January 31, 2011 at 5:30 pm #

Regular earbuds hurt my ears, and the headset doesn’t travel well. A new pr of teeny weeny ear buds would be great!

Definitely need a pair of these!!! Thanks!
72

Robyn January 31, 2011 at 5:31 pm #

My husband has the same problem as you – the ear buds always fall out of his ears and he hates them but we can’t seem to find a truly decent replacement!
101

Lauren January 31, 2011 at 7:57 pm #

Awesome!
102

Valarie January 31, 2011 at 8:07 pm #

I’m 84% of the way to a 100-pound weight loss, and since my iPod is my constant workout companion and, therefore, somewhat responsible for said weight loss, it deserves some new earbuds.
103

VirginiaMom January 31, 2011 at 8:12 pm #

my eyes ARE green!

113

Kristi January 31, 2011 at 9:29 pm #

I would love these as I JUST got an iphone that I am borrowing from some wonderful friends until my contract with T-Mobile expires this summer and I can purchase a new one. You won’t believe this, but the phone is a very first generation iphone still working perfectly except for some pixel problems due to beer spilling all over it. I didn’t do it, my friends did.
114

PJ January 31, 2011 at 9:37 pm #

I thought it was my ears that they didn’t fit right!!! I would love to win these especially in green! Thanks for the chance.
115

152

AndreaG February 1, 2011 at 9:49 am #

Ooh, I’d love some. I just can’t figure out why Apple or BB won’t provide a more useful/comfortable pair with their product. Boneheads.

My husband was just complaining about his ear buds! He’ll just have to learn to live with the lime green if I win!
165

S. Elder February 1, 2011 at 12:29 pm #

Very Nice!
166

djlott February 1, 2011 at 12:33 pm #

My 16yos should belong to an earbud/headphones-of-the-month-club! Needless to say, mine are usually missing… does lime green go with hazel eyes?
167

MamaChristy February 1, 2011 at 1:21 pm #

170

Suzy February 1, 2011 at 4:09 pm #

U love iFrogs – began going there when you posted a link to them about 2 years ago. And since one of my dog also loves them (as in, finds them tasty), an new, free pair would be fabulous.
171

nancee February 1, 2011 at 6:16 pm #

I don’t like sharing ear buds…seems well umm…unsanitary, especially with my teenage boys. I would love a lime green pair!
172

BKC February 1, 2011 at 7:11 pm #

Pick me! I gave my earphones to my daughter so I wouldn’t have to listen to Angelina Ballerina movies. That snarky little mouse drives me crazy.
173

divrchk February 1, 2011 at 7:38 pm #

These would be much appreciated in my house!
174

Melanie February 1, 2011 at 8:00 pm #
